So does anyone know if this is a scam or not? i really need the helklp

SCAM! The phone number alone is proof of that.

Phone numbers that start with 44-70 are redirect numbers. The calls are forwarded to another phone, usually a cell phone in Africa or Malaysia. The numbers are used by scammers pretending to be in UK when they are not. Real UK businesses would not have a 44-70 number.

But any "employer" that sends you to their contact for a UK visa is a fraud.
Besides the fact that a travel agency cannot get you a visa (you need to show up at your local British embassy for that), UK only issues au pair visas to people from a few specific countries--if you are not a citizen of one of those countries, you can't get one at all.

The English is also atrocious, with typical African mistakes.

Hi sarah

Dotti is spot on with the explanation.
Phone numbers in Newcastle (landline) seem to begin with 0191 followed by seven digits.
I'm no expert, but Newcastle mobile numbers seem to start with 07 or 08 and are eleven digits.
re: 447045750169 as you will notice is twelve numbers.
A phone number beginning with 44704 has no relation to Newcastle.
